ABSTRACT

A handbag design for providing adjustability of the closer that allows the user to sculpt the upper portion of the handbag to there liking. This process is accomplished by the looped wire skeleton adhered to the material in the opening seam during the construction of the handbag in accordance to the invention.

BACKGROUND

[0001] This invention relates to handbags, specifically to handbags thatallow the user to adjust the closing ability to sculpt a specific lookas well as discovering alternative ways of securing items placed inside.Handbag closers can be unsightly, generally unsightly closers havesuperior security. Security is often compromised for aesthetic design.Handbag closer design relies on two major issues; security andaesthetics. Design and functionality can work against each other.

Handbags provide afashionable way of securing personal items carried on ones person.Handbag manufacturers have struggled to provide secure closers that areappealing to the eye.

[0002] To our knowledge no handbags exists with this specific design.Many handbag designs have been patented, but our research has not founda patent describing a wire frame skeleton that allows the user to sculptthe handbag while securing the contents.

SUMMARY

[0003] Our invention, an improved handbag, has superior aesthetic valueand security of the internal contents. The design consists of a wireframe skeleton adhered to the seams of the material the handbag isconstructed of. On the lateral sides of the handbag a looped wire isadhered to the seam or the opening edge. (a clearer description will bemade in the drawings) The looped wire skeleton consists of three parts;two lateral side wires and one ovular opening wire.
